One of my favorite things about Advent is the music you hear this time of year. The music of Christmas tells the story of Jesus’ birth from many angles. The story includes shepherds, wise men, angels, a manager and the people who believed.
The hymns “Hark the Herald Angels Sing”, “Oh Little Town of Bethlehem” and “Silent Night” are just a few of the Christmas songs we sing that bring to us the message from Psalm 67.
The psalms/songs talk about praising God and singing for joy. We hear about peace on earth and good will to all. We are surround by love’s pure light and the hopes and fears. We know the Christ is the everlasting Lord. As we journey through this advent season, may all people praise God and may God bless us all. And may our faithfulness bring us all together now and forever more.
Heavenly Father we praise you and sing joy to your name. May we be guide by your loving kindness through this Advent season and always! Amen.
